I voted for [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. Because [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] is so rare as a given name I would use something decidedly more “namey” in the middle spot. [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] sounds like a type of cedar tree.

Yay!!! Someone else who likes [name_u]Ellington[/name_u]! That has been one of my favorite names forever, but my fiancee doesn’t like it. I would have loved to have had an [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] Key or [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]. But I voted for [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] because I agree with the above poster.

[name_u]Ellington[/name_u] seems like sooooo much name and I can’t think of a nice nn. I like [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] or [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] but if you would prefer [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] in the first spot, I think [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] goes nicest style-wise.

I dislike [name_u]Ellington[/name_u], so I would use [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Ellington[/name_u].

I think [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] goes very nicely with your daughter, [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. :). Beautiful combination in sibling names.

I prefer [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] to [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] too, but [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] is my husband’s absolute favorite name so we are going with it first. He is a huge jazz fan. :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for the feedback! I like how [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] go together thematically, but [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] sound cute together. My question is…if we have a third child, would we be stuck with a J nature theme? I do like [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] and [name_f]Jacinda[/name_f], but not sure for a boy middle. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] has better flow. [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] feels clunky & mismatched but [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] flows nicely
